► RAG Big 5

What's RAG Big 5?

These events are like normal RAG events, but on a much bigger scale - bigger challenges, bigger commitment, (hopefully) much larger amounts raised for our charities, and ultimately a bigger sense of pride in yourself for getting involved in something epic during your time at Trent!

Like all of our activities, RAG Big 5 events are student-led - but here at NTSU we'll support you as much as we can so that you can take part and meet your sponsorship goals. We also acknowledge that many of these events aren't for the faint-hearted - so if you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch and we'll be happy to give you more info.

Want to get involved?

So, what are you waiting for?! Read on for more info on the remaining Big 5 events we have in store this academic year:

RAG Big 5: Big Climbs

Expedition Everest - Summer 2012
Climb Kili for Kids - Summer 2012
A Great Wall (of China) - Summer 2012

About: If you want to take part in the ultimate challenge, then why not scale one of the world's highest mountains or trek the world's longest wall on behalf of Childreach International? Next summer, we're taking teams to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Nepal to climb up to Everest base camp, and to China to traverse the Great Wall. Childreach will even take you to see where your money is being invested, and you also have the option of extending your visit so you can have some travelling time after your expedition!
